ENGLEWOOD, Colo. Custom Patriots Jersey . -- Tim Tebow will enter training camp as the Denver Broncos starting quarterback for 2012. The team sought to curb the circus thats sure to surround Tebow this off-season by declaring him the incumbent at a season-ending news conference Monday. John Elway, a Hall of Famer who rejoined the team a year ago as chief of football operations, has pledged to work with Tebow this off-season to polish his passing game. Tebow took over a 1-4 team in October and guided the Broncos to their first playoff berth since 2005. His 80-yard TD toss on the first play of overtime beat Pittsburgh in the wild-card round before the Broncos lost at New England Saturday. Tebow is the Broncos only quarterback under contract for 2012. Jon Bostic Patriots Jersey . The Cavs have won seven in a row and havent lost since a home contest on Nov. 22 versus these same Raptors. Since, Cleveland swept a four-game homestand, then polished off a perfect 3-0 road trip in front of a royal crowd at the Barclays Center. Tim Wright Patriots Jersey . -- A few drivers, like Brad Keselowski and Joey Logano, raced onto the track to get in their qualifying sessions. BALTIMORE -- An uncharacteristic performance by the Baltimore Ravens defence was offset by an uncommonly effective outing by Joe Flacco and the teams oft-criticized offence. Flacco threw for 270 yards and two touchdowns, rookie Torrey Smith had six catches for 165 yards, and Baltimore moved into first place in the AFC North with a nerve-racking 31-24 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. Playing without middle linebacker Ray Lewis for the first time in 58 games, the Ravens (7-3) nearly blew a 17-point lead in the final 14 minutes, yielded 483 yards and let rookie quarterback Andy Dalton throw for 373. But Baltimore got 104 yards rushing and two touchdowns from Ray Rice, and the defence made big plays when it counted most. After Rice was stuffed on a third-and-1 with just over two minutes left, he remained confident. "I just looked at the clock and I said, Our defence will get it done," he recalled. "Thats the faith I have in our guys." Even without Lewis, who watched from the sideline after being placed on the inactive list with a toe injury. The Ravens spiritual leader and leading tackler saw his unit pick off three passes and turn in a game-saving goal-line stand in the final minute. Down 31-24, Cincinnati reached the Baltimore 7 before Terrell Suggs collared Dalton, who was called for intentional grounding. On fourth-and-goal, Dalton was sacked by Pernell McPhee. The Bengals (6-4) needed seven points because on the previous series, an apparent 9-yard touchdown pass from Dalton to Jermaine Gresham was overturned by a replay that determined the receiver didnt hold onto the ball at the end of a juggling catch. The Bengals settled for a field goal with 5:32 remaining. "When the receiver went to the ground, he had the ball in his right hand," referee Ron Winter said. "The ball touched the ground and his hand came off the ball." Baltimore is locked in a first-place tie with Pittsburgh in the AFC North, but the Ravens own the tiebreaker by virtue of their two wins over the Steelers. "No. 1 in the division, thats huge," Suggs said. "Now were the master of our destiny." The Ravens won in part because of Smith, whose 165 yards were third-most by a receiver in Ravens history. He might have had more if Adam Jones didnt grab hold of Smiths long dreadlocks at the end of a 28-yard completion in the second quarter. Jones was initially flagged for a horse-collar tackle, but officials corrected themselves and did not mark off any yardage because its legal to tackle a runner by pulling his hair. Even though it wasnt a banner day for the Baltimore defence, its three interceptions set up two touchdowns. "Whenever we can get turnovers, it definitely makes everybodys job easier," cornerback Cary Williiams said. Vince Wilfork Patriots Jersey. "Its just being able to capitalize on opportunities, and we did that today." Dalton went 24 for 45 with a touchdown. Cincinnati was without standout rookie wide receiver A.J. Green, who hurt his right knee a week earlier in a loss to Pittsburgh. But the Bengals gave Baltimore all it could handle. "Weve won six games to this point and well win some more," coach Marvin Lewis said. "Weve just got to circle the wagons, lick our wounds and go." One week earlier, the Bengals came up short in rallying from a 14-0 deficit against Pittsburgh. It was more of the same against the Ravens. "It comes down to the fourth quarter. Thats how every games been for us," Dalton said. "Weve got to start faster. We cant wait around until the end of the game to pick it up, come out and get back in it. Its definitely going to be a focus for us." Baltimore took a 24-14 lead on a 2-yard run by Rice late in the third quarter. The score came after Ravens rookie cornerback Jimmy Smith picked off a pass and returned it 16 yards before fumbling. The loose ball was recovered at the Cincinnati 2 by teammate Brendon Ayanbadejo in a pile that included Winter. The Bengals following possession ended with an interception by Lardarius Webb. On the next play, Torrey Smith split the Bengals two-deep zone and caught a 38-yard touchdown pass in the back of the end zone to make it 31-14. The Bengals responded with a five-play, 80-yard drive capped by a 49-yard touchdown pass from Dalton to Andre Caldwell, who slipped behind Jimmy Smith down the right sideline. But the Ravens held on, rebounding after a 22-17 loss at Seattle last week. Baltimore has won 12 straight following a defeat. "Its good to bounce back," Suggs said, "but lets not take any more steps back." The Bengals punted six times in the first half, two short of their season high for an entire game. Cincinnatis offence managed only 143 yards before halftime, 47 of those on one play. On the Bengals second possession, wide receiver Jerome Simpson made a juggling catch for a 47-yard gain to set up a 7-yard touchdown run by Cedric Benson. The Ravens didnt get past midfield until early in the second quarter, following a 15-yard punt by Kevin Huber. Starting at its 45, Baltimore picked up a first down before Flacco tossed a short pass to Anquan Boldin, who ran the final 20 yards for a 35-yard touchdown.

Ravens LB Jarret Johnson made his 74th consecutive start, breaking the franchise record previously held by Michael McCrary and Jamie Sharper. ...
